"When this season began, it looked liked Liverpool would have an embarrassment of riches in their forward ranks following a summer transfer window blitz that saw Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike join the already formidable trio of Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa. However, as we stand currently, only Ekitike and Chiesa will be 100% available for the Reds when they take on Wolves in their next fixture."
"Salah is away to AFCON, Gakpo is in a race to be fit, and Isak will be out for months following a brutal ankle injury suffered while scoring against Tottenham. With that backdrop, and the winter window soon upon us, it's expected that Arne Slot should be tempted to bolster his attacking options. Antoine Semenyo was seen as the strongest option, but the recent news that he wants a move to Man City means Liverpool will have to pivot."
"The Brazilian has already bagged 11 goals from his 17 league appearances this season as he has been the focal point of the Bees attack. That is the exact kind of efficiency in front of goal Slot will surely be looking for. The Brazilian is a pure forward that works well through the middle and he would have plenty of chances with Florian Wirtz and Dominik Szoboszlai proving significant"
Liverpool added Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike to Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa over the summer, creating significant forward depth. Currently only Ekitike and Chiesa will be fully available for the next fixture as Salah is at AFCON, Gakpo’s fitness remains uncertain and Isak faces months out with a severe ankle injury sustained while scoring against Tottenham. The approaching winter window increases pressure to recruit attacking reinforcements. Antoine Semenyo has signalled interest in Manchester City, requiring Liverpool to consider alternatives such as Brentford’s Igor Thiago, who has 11 goals in 17 league appearances and suits a central role.
